Spikey statues
I repeatedly photograph the Mossman statues on the Granville Street facade of Glasgow's Mitchell Library, particularly so when the light catches the anti-pigeon spikes, giving them a slightly punk appearance. This group representing 'Ancient Arts' - Athene between figures of a sculptor and an architect.
Sculptor: John Mossman, 1878. The Mossman family dominated sculpture in Glasgow during the Victorian period. John Mossman (1817-90) studied under his father, William Mossman Senior (1793-1851), and also under Baron Carlo Marochetti.
